Hi,I just am getting around to seeing this blog.I despise texting.If someone wanted to shoot whomever came up with texting I never saw a thing :-]. I couldn't figure out what that annoying beep on my phone was until a friend called me wondering why I haden't been answering all of the texts they'd been sending me.Long story short,I called my phone company and ask how much extra do I have to pay to have texting taken off my phone.They were really great and did it for free,I loved them for that!

It's not just you girls that don't like texting.

I agree. Telephones are for talking and getting to know someone. But texting can be most effective when it is used creatively for romance. ;-D. ............... BeWell

LOL @ BEWELL......

So my dear... We finally see what puts that "naughty grin" on your face!! :)

Yes, SEXTING.. I mean er.. Texting does have advantages..

LIV---- I hate to admit, but the most annoying part of text to me is.. IT TAKES TOO LONG TO TEXT. My claws can't be used by the touch screen and the "correction" feature on phone ..Well.. let's just say I have sent text out that made NO SENSE as I didn't DOUBLE CHECK.. I was in a rush.. I mentioned something about a DOG to a guy before... ??? TRUE STORY!! It happens all the time to me!!

JEN... That is called "Drunk Texting / Sexting" HA!

I heard the old saying, "Nothing good ever happens after midnight!" Perhaps that remains true with texting too?

HI LULUUUUU!!!!

Dallas - I completely agree. I don't do text. I have no time or patience for it. To be honest it irritates me. A once in a while text is OK and tolerable - but even once a day one that is not reinforced by a call earlier or later is a little shallow for my taste. Unlike a phone call, I'll probaby not even see the text message due to my hectic schedule.

Leave the text messaging to the teenagers, please!

Liv.

I definitely agree that phonecalls are better and easier. I have a digital keyboard on my cell that constantly posts a nearby letter instead of the one I pressed even when I use a stylus so I am constantly correcting texts before I send them. Other than being a pain and too time-consuming to text, there are those late night texts I get sometimes that are just wrong. If he cannot say it in a phonecall without it seeming inappropriate then do not text it to me late at night.

I don't know about you ladies, but texting takes me a long time with my stupid touch screen! My nails get in the way and it takes me longer than calling. The voice thing never gets it right, so I don't even bother trying to use it anymore!!

RING! RING!!

DALLAS... I could not agree more!!

PICK UP THE PHONE GUYS AND SAY HELLO...

TEXTING IS IMPERSONAL AND IS NOT A CONVERSATION!!

I was chatting with a new friend last night and that was one of the things we talked about. Once you have established that you would like to continue communicating with a person, it would make sense to want to have a more personal form of interaction.

it is SOOOOOOOO annoying when guys insist on having the first conversation throught texts. believe me, it is the easiest way to turn a woman off.

i get it, you are bored, at work, & want to multitask. getting to know me should not be squeezed in the middle of anything else. wait, be mature, & call later.

texts should be no more than 2 each a day.anything more needs to be a phone call.sorry but i do not have time for 100 text messages every day.

women, what do you think?
